National Reserve We spend a full day in the Masai Mara
on morning and afternoon ‘Spice’ game
drives. The trees in the distance might turn out to
be a family of Giraffes. Those clump of bushes a pride
of Lions, and the rock that moves a Rhino lumbering
out of your way.

With
diligence and some luck, you may encounter a family
of Cheetahs, or a herd of Elephants crossing the path
in front of you. Large animals are not the only entertainment
– a family of warthogs may amuse you, running
as fast as their little legs will carry them, until
they forget why they are rushing and stop to regroup.

game drive in Mara, then depart after breakfast and
drive back to Nairobi arriving early afternoon. Drop
at your hotel or transfer to the airport for onward
